Created attachment 6031 clementine After upgrading to 4.12 in Xubuntu (ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12) QT apps are ugly. They don't understand gtk theme. For instance clementine scerenshot
Did you upgrade any Qt packages also? You can easily resolve this issue with qtconfig-qt4. Just change the GUI style to "Gtk+" and Qt applications should look fine again.
I have tried to install this package from xubuntu default ppa, but it didn't make any effect
The package is named "qt4-qtconfig", the actual program "qtconfig-qt4". Please see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1382741 .
According to this this isn't soolution http://www.webupd8.org/2015/03/install-xfce-412-in-xubuntu-1404-or.html
Created attachment 6071 Screeenshot Icons of clementine aren't GTK, that's the bug. Is it the bug that from now users are manually to set GTK+ theme in qt4-config?
There might be a bug if the GTK theme was applied properly before the upgrade to 4.12. However, Xfce does nothing special to ensure that Qt/KDE applications use a specific GTK or icon theme. Ideally, these apps should be able to detect the desktop environment and adjust their appearance accordingly.
I see, but I have done nothing but upgrading to 4.12. Maybe theme settings causes this
From the comment section [1] of the previously linked website: Create (or modify) ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals so that it contains e.g.: [Icons] Theme=elementary-xfce-darker You might need to clear the icons cache afterwards: rm /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/icon-cache.kcache [1] http://www.webupd8.org/2015/03/install-xfce-412-in-xubuntu-1404-or.html#comment-1892101121
Didn't help. Still default icons
Guess xfsettingsd has lost the ability to configure QT settings since 4.12
Can confirm that this is an issue using Xfce 4.12 on Xubuntu 14.04.
Workaround from http://www.webupd8.org/2015/03/install-xfce-412-in-xubuntu-1404-or.html COMMENTS Create (or modify) ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals so that it contains e.g.: [Icons] Theme=elementary-xfce-darker You might need to clear the icons cache afterwards: rm /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/icon-cache.kcache • Reply•Share › Avatar Yan Pashkovsky b3nmore • 21 hours ago Did it work for you? • Edit• Reply•Share › Avatar b3nmore Yan Pashkovsky • 11 hours ago Yes it does. All kde/qt apps I use (amarok, digikam, k3b, audex) use the correct icon theme. Make sure, that the theme name you write into kdeglobals concur with the folder name of the icon theme. For xubuntu icon themes are stored under "/usr/share/icons". And clear the cache file after you've changed the theme name. ----------- And overthere is workaround for qt style. I haven't tried workaround for icons

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_Qt_and_GTK_Applications#Using_a_GTK.2B_icon_theme_in_Qt_apps This didn't help as well. Are there non-debian based distro users? Do you meet this issue? As far as I remember Manjaro doesn't have this problem, so maybe there is a broken package is ubuntu repos
The following report most likely explains what is going on and why Debian based distribution are affected: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12012
Yes, it's xfce4-session fault. I've compiled and installed new from git, but can't start Xserver. So i've tried with 4.10 from trusty repos and QT apps are OK
Hmm, stangely. When I did sudo checkinstall -D - xfce4-session wasn't able to start, but after sudo make install works fine. Bug may be closed?
Thanks for testing it. I'll mark this report as duplicate then. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 12012 ***
